Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wireless mobile communication system, and more particularly, to a method for transmitting control information.
  • a traffic channel environment may vary in time. Because a different communication scheme may be appropriate for each traffic channel environment, a BS (Base Station) needs to determine a specific communication scheme and signal the determined communication scheme to the UE on a control channel according to passage of time. The UE may transmit control information needed for the BS to determine the specific communication scheme to the BS on an uplink control channel.
  • a BS Base Station
  • a UE When a control channel and a traffic channel are simultaneously transmitted, the BS can transmit them using all resources without any restriction because it can supply sufficient transmission power.
  • the waveform of a transmission signal may experience undesired distortion because the UE has limited transmission power and may not have good power amplifier characteristics.
  • a UE transmits a time-domain modulated signal in DFT-S-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) to maintain the single carrier property, for optimizing the power of the UE.
  • DFT-S-OFDM Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
  • the DFT-S-OFDM scheme has the shortcoming that a transmission signal is transmitted only in a contiguous frequency band. This imposes a constraint on simultaneous transmission of a control channel and a traffic channel. Therefore, when a control channel and a traffic channel are simultaneously allocated to a UE, the control channel and the traffic channel are designed such that a signal to be transmitted on the control channel is relocated to the traffic channel.
  • the single carrier property can be maintained but, in fact, signal coverage is decreased rather than it is extended or maintained.
  • a transmission signal is to be transmitted on an uplink traffic channel in the presence of a control channel designed for transmission of an ACK/NACK (acknowledgment/negative-acknowledgment)
  • an ACK/NACK bit is mapped to an OFDM symbol around an uplink demodulation reference signal in a conventional technology.
  • power available to the UE for transmission of the ACK/NACK signal is reduced to or below a half of a maximum energy that can be accumulated in a single subframe.
  • the technique taken for CM reduction only reduces the link coverage of the control channel.
  • a problem caused by mixture between information of the control channel and information of the traffic channel affects the robustness of a protocol.
  • the conventional method presents no security solution when a UE fails to receive a command, for example, a scheduling grant from a BS and causes obscurity according to a control channel type.
  • a command for example, a scheduling grant from a BS and causes obscurity according to a control channel type.
  • a UE transmits a Scheduling Request (SR) or it transmits an RI (Rank Indicator) suitable for a current channel along with a CQI (Channel Quality Information)
  • RI Rank Indicator
  • CQI Channel Quality Information
  • the present invention relates to a technique for generating a signal, while correcting such an error.
  • An object of the present invention devised to solve the conventional problem is to provide a method for decreasing a transmission error rate and increasing capacity in wireless mobile communication.
  • a method for transmitting control information at a UE in a wireless mobile communication system using a plurality of uplink carriers includes multiplexing first control information allocated to a first uplink control channel with second control information allocated to a second uplink control channel, and transmitting the multiplexed first and second control information on an uplink channel allocated to one of the plurality of uplink carriers.
  • the first and second uplink control channels may be allocated to different uplink carriers. Or the first and second uplink control channels may be allocated to the same uplink carrier.
  • the UE may use one or more SC-FDMA signals or clustered SC-FDMA.
  • the uplink channel may be an uplink control channel.
  • the multiplexing may include modulating a bit stream generated by sequentially arranging one or more bits representing the first control information and one or more bits representing the second control information according to a modulation order corresponding to the length of the bit stream.
  • the modulation order may be QPSK, if the bit stream is 3 bits, the modulation order may be 8PSK, and if the bit stream is 4 bits, the modulation order may be 16QAM.
  • the first control information may be mapped to a bit robust against a propagation error in the bit stream.
  • the bit robust against a propagation error may be an MSB (Most Significant Bit) of the bit stream.
  • the uplink control channel may be divided into a plurality of subsets and each subset may include one or more SC-FDMA symbols.
  • the first control information may be mapped to a first subset and the second control information may be mapped to a second subset, among the plurality of subsets.
  • the first control information requires a lower error rate than the second control information, more pilots may be allocated to the first subset than to the second subset.
  • Each of the first and second control information may include at least one of an ACK, a NACK, an SR and a CQI.
  • a method for transmitting control information at a UE in a wireless mobile communication system using SC-FDMA includes transmitting control information simultaneously on an uplink control channel and an uplink shared channel.
  • the control information may be an ACK or NACK.
  • the control information may be a CQI.
  • the control information may be an RI.
  • the control information may be a downlink carrier measurement.

  • PUSCH C1 is spaced from PUSCH C2 in the frequency domain, which results in a frequency diversity effect.
  • Resource allocation as illustrated in FIG. 1 is applicable to both cases of a single carrier and multiple carriers. The concurrent use of a control channel and a traffic channel may occur on multiple carriers.
  • the present invention can also be applied to any system that transmits control information on a traffic channel as well as the 3GPP LTE system.

  • Carrier aggregation refers to aggregation between a plurality of uplink carriers and one or more downlink carriers or aggregation between a plurality of downlink carriers and one or more uplink carriers.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates exemplary carrier aggregation when four downlink carriers 201 to 204 and two uplink carriers 205 and 206 are used.
  • each uplink carrier is aggregated with two downlink carriers. More specifically, first and second downlink carriers 201 and 202 are aggregated with a first uplink carrier 205, and third and fourth downlink carriers 203 and 204 are aggregated with a second uplink carrier 206. That is, a downlink signal may be transmitted on the first or second downlink carrier 201 or 202 to a UE using the first uplink carrier 205, and a downlink signal may be transmitted on the third or fourth downlink carrier 203 or 204 to a UE using the second uplink carrier 206.
  • a control channel transmission scheme is designed so as to satisfy QoS (Quality of Service) that can be generally ensured, with priority.
  • the control channel transmission scheme is designed such that a control channel has a very low error probability, for instance, in a range of 0.001 to 0.01.
  • the error probability of a traffic channel is set to be as high as 10 to 20% to increase system throughput. In practice, the best system throughput can be achieved in this case.
  • simple transmission of a control signal on the traffic channel does not ensure the QoS requirement and signal coverage of the system.
  • a high error probability may cause errors in a protocol required for system operations. To avert this problem, a method for appropriately transmitting data and/or control information on each PUCCH and PUSCH combination, for example, in the 3GPP LTE system, particularly the LTE-A system.
  • the UE when a PUCCH and a PUSCH are simultaneously allocated on the same carrier, the UE transmits information of the PUCCH on the PUSCH. On the side of the system, the PUCCH resources are wasted. In the LTE-A system, the PUCCH may be used for another usage. Specifically, since information supposed to be delivered in PUCCH resources allocated to a particular UE is actually transmitted on a PUSCH, the PUCCH resources are unused. These unused PUCCH resources may be allocated to another UE.
  • the present invention provides a method for, when a PUCCH and a PUSCH are simultaneously allocated to a UE, enabling the UE to use both the allocated PUCCH and PUSCH. The method is also applicable when the PUCCH or the PUSCH is independently allocated to the particular UE.
  • This embodiment is based on the assumption that when a UE is supposed to receive downlink traffic (data or a command) from a BS and transmit a PUCCH ACK/NACK for the received downlink traffic to the BS, the UE is additionally allocated PUSCH resources for traffic transmission.
  • An ACK is a feedback signal transmitted from a second device to a first device, indicating successful reception of a signal from the first device in a wireless mobile communication system.
  • a NACK is a feedback signal transmitted from the second device to the first device, indicating reception failure of a signal from the first device.
  • a CQI is feedback control information that a UE transmits to a BS, which generically refers to a measure of the quality of a communication channel between the BS and the UE.
  • the CQI may be a measurement about a serving cell or a cooperative/neighbor cell.
  • the CQI may be a measurement for one or more carriers.
  • the BS performs control operations based on the feedback CQI.
  • the CQI transmission may be periodic or aperiodic. In the former case, the CQI may be transmitted successively at corresponding positions in the form of bursts.
  • CQI values of a plurality of carriers or CQI values of a plurality of neighbor cells may be transmitted successively in time, frequency, or PUCCH resources.
  • a PUSCH and the PUCCH are highly likely to be transmitted simultaneously.
  • a CQI supposed to be transmitted on the PUCCH may be relocated to the PUSCH.
  • the transmitted data includes a wideband CQI and PMI (Precoding Matrix Index) for each rank or layer.
  • the BS may know in advance whether the UE will transmit a CQI. Therefore, when a signal is transmitted on a PUSCH between a UE and a BS, there is no obscurity on a transmission format. In this case, accordingly, there is no need for transmitting CQI especially on a PUCCH.
  • the CQI may be separately transmitted on the PUCCH.
  • the CQI may be transmitted on both the PUCCH and the PUSCH or only on the PUCCH.
  • a CQI When it is not preferable to transmit a CQI, only uplink traffic without a CQI may be transmitted on the PUSCH.

For example, a CQI value for a serving cell or a first carrier may be transmitted on the PUSCH and a CQI value for a neighbor cell or a second carrier may be transmitted on the PUCCH, or vice versa. If CQI values to be transmitted are jointly encoded into a single codeword, the codeword may be transmitted over a symbol space including the PUSCH and the PUCCH.
  • a CQI may include actual channel information such as a CSI (Channel State Information), an MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme), a PMI, an RI (rank information), a wideband CQI, a subband/subband delta CQI, a carrier/carrier delta CQI, a codeword delta CQI, etc.
  • the CSI may be a channel matrix
  • the PMI is a parameter indicating a specific precoding matrix in a system using precoding matrices
  • the RI indicates a rank value in a system with a plurality of transmission and reception antennas.

  • a CQI value for a neighbor cell/cooperative cell may be defined as an absolute CQI value for each cell, or a delta CQI for a neighbor cell/cooperative cell may be defined as the difference from the CQI of a reference cell (e.g. the serving cell).
  • a reference cell e.g. the serving cell
  • a CQI may be separated into different pieces of information as described above, the CQI may be transmitted separately.

  • the RI may be transmitted on the PUCCH and the transmission format of a PUSCH may be determined based on the RI.
  • the RI can be read from the PUCCH with higher accuracy than it is read from the PUSCH, thereby preventing a decoding error at the BS.
  • the RI may be transmitted on the PUSCH, while other information of the CQI may be transmitted on the PUCCH.
  • the basic part for example, the RI may be transmitted on the PUSCH to thereby keep the size unchanged, while the other part, for example, the CQI/PMI may be transmitted on a channel (i.e. the PUCCH) other than the PUSCH.
  • the simultaneous transmission of the RI and PUSCH may be pursuant to the afore-described first embodiment of the present invention.
  • a protection scheme against errors should be provided for the RI and more transmission energy needs to be allocated to the RI, rather than the RI is integrated into the PUSCH.
  • the conventional technology regulates transmission of an RI on the PUSCH irrespective of the type of information transmitted on the PUSCH.
  • the RI is transmitted on the PUSCH, protection of the RI against errors is limited.
  • a mechanism for selecting RI transmission on the PUCCH or RI transmission on the PUSCH can be used, as done in the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the RI is transmitted on the PUCCH, power allocation is facilitated at a transmitter and as a result, the RI can be transmitted accurately.
  • the PUSCH and a CQI are preferably transmitted together. If the RI is changed, the range of a necessary CQI is also changed. Therefore, the BS may perform scheduling more appropriately, when the PUSCH and the CQI are transmitted together at the time when the RI is transmitted.
  • the RI and the CQI/PMI are transmitted in the same subframe as described above, it may be contemplated that the RI is first detected from the PUCCH and then the CQI/PMI and data are decoded from the PUSCH. Herein, the RI is not transmitted on the PUSCH.
  • the RI may be transmitted on the PUSCH, symbols carrying the RI may be power-boosted. That is, to reduce an error rate, the RI symbols can be transmitted with higher power than other data or other control channel symbols.
  • the bit number of an RI may be increased.
  • the RI may be transmitted on the PUSCH as done conventionally, with an added RI bit space allocated to the PUCCH.
  • the RI is transmitted on the PUCCH, with an added RI bit space allocated to the PUSCH.

  • the PUCCH may be configured so as to accommodate the RI with an increased number of bits by increasing a modulation order or applying a technique such as differential modulation on a symbol, RS (Reference Signal), or slot basis.
  • An SR may be transmitted together with or separately from other control signals. If the UE can tolerate a slight delay in transmitting information about new data to the BS, transmission of an SR in the next transmission opportunity does not cause problems. If traffic is transmitted on the PUSCH, a higher layer indicates a buffer status. Thus, resources may be continuously allocated to the current transmission traffic. However, when a new HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request) process is to be started, it may be difficult to start the new HARQ process simply with the knowledge of the buffer status.
  • HARQ Hybrid Automatic Repeat request
  • this event may be set by generating an HARQ process other than the current process transmitted on the PUSCH, while transmitting the SR on the PUCCH, or by transmitting the SR on the PUCCH to deliver additional information about the current traffic process, rather than the SR is not transmitted at all.
  • the PUSCH is piggybacked with the SR, additional information about the SR may be transmitted on the PUCCH, or vice versa. That is, while the LTE system cannot describe additional information such as a buffer status, emergency, QoS, etc. while transmitting an SR, this additional information can be transmitted in an extra symbol space.
  • the SR can be configured to be transmitted always on the PUCCH, compared to other control information.
  • This embodiment pertains to a method for configuring a PUCCH or a PUSCH applicable to the LTE-A system.

  • a PUCCH or a PUSCH needs to be designed to meet the requirement.
  • an LTE-A control channel carrying more control information can be configured by extending the symbol space. If information of the PUCCH is relocated to the PUSCH, the already-allocated PUCCH resources are not used.
  • the PUCCH can deliver 1 to 20 bits of information. Especially when the allocated PUCCH resources are supposed to deliver an ACK/NACK, the PUCCH resources may carry up to 3 bits.
  • the PUCCH resources are supposed to carry a CQI, they may deliver up to 20 bits. However, a larger symbol space may be needed according to a used resource utilization scheme, extension of control information through a multi-carrier or multi-cell operation, a diversity scheme for increasing coverage or reliability, spatial multiplexing, a modulation order, etc. Accordingly, a method for transmitting more control information may be considered for the 3GPP LTE system, when the PUCCH and the PUSCH are transmitted together in a situation where an LTE-A UE and an LTE-UE are co-existent.
  • a method for transmitting control information only on the PUCCH may be considered for LTE-A control information. For example, if a UE reports a CQI for eight antennas (antenna 0 to antenna 7) in the LTE-A system, the UE needs more CQI bits to report the CQI for the 8 antennas, compared to the LTE system where the UE has only to report CQI for 4 antennas. As to an RI, the UE may include additional rank indication bits in the PUCCH in order to represent an additional rank (in the case where a rank definition is extended in view of the increased number of antennas).
  • the most important part/bit(s) of the RI may be transmitted on the PUCCH.
  • interference measurements for neighbor cells are transmitted on the PUCCH.
  • the BS may use the interference measurements to indicate a particular cell at the moment the BS attempts to communicate with the UE.
  • An interference measurement may take the form of a CQI including a path loss, a PMI, an MCS, a CSI, an RI, etc.
  • the BS may indicate an arbitrary number of cells from among cells having the strongest interference or cells having the smallest interference.
  • the UE may transmit the cell ID of the particular cell directly, in a neighbor cell list, or in a bitmap representing respective cells, encoded/modulated in a PUCCH format.
  • the interference measurement and cell ID may be simultaneously transmitted.
  • information about a selected carrier may further be transmitted. That is, an indication requesting relocation from a current carrier to another carrier may be transmitted. This indication may take the form of a relocation request or a particular carrier ID/bitmap.
  • CQIs for other carriers may be transmitted. Such a CQI may include a PMI, an RI, a CSI, an MCS, etc.
  • a plurality of control channels transmitted simultaneously on a plurality of carriers may be integrated. For example, when an ACK/NACK is allocated to an uplink carrier and an SR is configured on another uplink carrier, the ACK/NACK and the SR may be transmitted in combination. When a CQI is allocated to an uplink carrier and an ACK/NACK or SR is allocated to another uplink carrier, the ACK/NACK or SR may be transmitted on a PUCCH of the carrier carrying the CQI.
  • Control information may be integrated irrespective of the number of uplink carriers. If control information to be integrated can be transmitted on a single PUCCH according to a PUCCH transmission format, the integration method may be further extended.
  • the CQI and the ACKs/NACKs may be transmitted in QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) on the carrier for the CQI. That is, QPSK symbols may be overlapped on the CQI or an ACK/NACK symbol may be mapped to a symbol space created by puncturing one of CQI symbols. Or some code bits may be used for an ACK/NACK indication as described below. More ACKs/NACKs may be transmitted by extending the above scheme as far as modulation permits.
  • QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
  • the SR and the ACK/NACK can be transmitted in combination on one PUCCH because both information of the SR and the ACK/NACK can be transmitted in BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying) or QPSK.
  • BPSK Binary Phase Shift Keying
  • control signals can be transmitted in the following manner.
  • FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a general processing structure for transmitting a message on a PUCCH, referred to for describing the present invention.
  • reference characters S1, S2, ..., S7 represent OFDM symbols.
  • the total number of OFDM symbols in a slot may vary depending on a CP length or any other configuration. For example, the number of OFDM symbols in a slot may be reduced to 6 or 3 in case of an extended CP.
  • MSSFN Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network
  • a particular uplink OFDM symbol is used for any other specific purpose, the total length of a control channel may be changed.
  • the OFDM symbols are masked by a UE-specific value C1, C2, ..., C7 and a message to be transmitted, M1, M2, ..., M7.
  • C1, C2, ..., C7 may be divided into any number of subsets and the message M1, M2, ..., M7 may also be divided according to a sequence applied to C1.
  • Reference symbols having a preset message value may be defined as pilots.
  • a particular combination e.g. an OFDM symbol combination within the same slot or in different slots
  • a particular bit/code sequence or symbol sequence may be applied to symbols to be used as reference symbols on a slot basis or a subframe basis in order to transmit a message.
  • the message is preferably error-tolerant such as an SR.
  • the PUCCH may occupy one PUCCH region, or the PUCCH may be configured across two slots, for example, in the forms of PUCCH A1+PUCCH A2, PUCCH A1+PUCCH B2, PUCCH B1+PUCCH B2, or PUCCH B1+PUCCH A2, as illustrated in FIG. 3 .
  • a message may be defined on a slot basis or across two slots.
  • Each message may include information of a plurality of control channels by increasing a modulation order according to a corresponding PUCCH configuration. For example, if a small amount of control information such as ⁇ ACK/NACK, SR, RI ⁇ is transmitted, the control information may be delivered in a predetermined bit number. For example, the control information may be transmitted in the order of important information, ACK/NACK>RI>SR or in the order of robust bits ACK/NACK>SR>RI.
  • PUCCH information may be combined according to a modulation order as illustrated in Table 1. [Table 1] Modulation order In bit information combination ⁇ A:B ⁇ , A is more robust than B (e.g.
  • MSB(Most Significant Bit) is more robust) BPSK ⁇ ACK/NACK ⁇ , ⁇ RI ⁇ , ⁇ SR ⁇ QPSK ⁇ ACK/NACK ⁇ , ⁇ RI ⁇ , ⁇ SR ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:RI ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:SR ⁇ , ⁇ RI:SR ⁇ 8PSK ⁇ ACK/NACK ⁇ , ⁇ RI ⁇ , ⁇ SR ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:RI ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:SR ⁇ , ⁇ RI:SR ⁇ 16 QAM ⁇ ACK/NACK ⁇ , ⁇ RI ⁇ , ⁇ SR ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:RI ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:SR ⁇ , ⁇ RI:SR ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:SR ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:SR ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:SR:RI ⁇ , ⁇ ACK/NACK:SR:RI ⁇
  • Table 1 lists a variety of cases in which a small amount of control information is combined into a PUCCH through modulation.
  • ⁇ A:B ⁇ represents a combination of information A and information B. Another information C may be added to ⁇ A:B ⁇ . Then, the control information combination may be represented as ⁇ A:B:C ⁇ for 16QAM as a modulation order in Table 1.
  • each piece of information may be 1 bit long.
  • the RI may be 1 bit and the SR may be 1 bit.
  • 8PSK allows 3-bit transmission and thus up to three pieces of information can be combined in 8PSK.
  • different pieces of information are combined into 3 bits.
  • the ACK/NACK is 3 bits.
  • the RI and the SR may be 2 bits and 1 bit long, respectively, or the RI and the SR may be 1 bit and 2 bits long, respectively.
  • each piece of information is 1 bit long.
  • 16QAM allows 4-bit transmission and thus up to four pieces of information can be combined. Preferably, different pieces of information are combined into 4 bits. If one piece of information is transmitted, the information may be 4 bits. For example, in case of ⁇ ACK/NACK ⁇ , the ACK/NACK is 4 bits. If two pieces of information are combined in 16QAM, one piece of information is 1 bit and the other piece of information is 3 bits, or each piece of information is 2 bits. For example, in case of ⁇ RI:SR ⁇ , the RI and the SR may be 3 bits and 1 bit long, respectively, the RI and the SR may be 1 bit and 3 bits long, respectively, or each of the RI and SR may be 2 bits long.
  • one piece of information is 1 bit long, another piece of information is 1 bit long, and the other piece of information is 2 bits long.
  • one of the ACK/NACK, SR and RI is 2 bits and each of the other pieces of information is 1 bit. If four pieces of information are combined in 16QAM, each piece of information is 1 bit long.
  • control information may be mapped to robust bits according to information importance in a similar manner.
  • information may be applied on a subset basis, each subset including OFDM symbols on a PUCCH, as described before. That is, the OFDM symbols of the PUCCH are divided into a plurality of subsets, each subset including one or more OFDM symbols. If a plurality of pieces of control information are to be transmitted, each piece of control information may be mapped to a subset. Since robustness depends on the size of a subset, when different pieces of control information are transmitted simultaneously, the control information may be transmitted by matching the importance of each message to a subset size. Herein, it may be assumed that pilots are uniformly distributed. For the same subset size, a subset nearer to pilots is more robust.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary OFDM symbol subset configuration for transmitting a plurality of messages according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • each slot may be divided into a plurality of OFDM subsets. Both cases where each slot delivers the same information and different pieces of information may be considered herein. That is, two successive slots may deliver the same or different information.
  • An m value representing a message may be coherent information such as a BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, or 16QAM value, but may be a non-coherent value such as zero.
  • Coherent information refers to information or a symbol that is generated according to a modulation order and non-coherent information refers to information or a symbol that is not generated according to a modulation order. While message 1 and message 2 are allocated at a symbol ratio of 4:3 in FIG. 4 , the symbol ratio may be any other value such as 5:2, 4:2:1, 3:3:1, etc.
  • each control channel value may be subjected to joint coding. If an extra bit space remains when a codeword is created through joint coding or codewords representing respective control channels are inserted into one symbol space, part of the control information, that is, information bits may be repeated in the extra bit space. If an extra symbol space remains, symbols of a particular codeword may be repeated and inserted into the symbol space.
  • each piece of control channel information may be encoded in a conventional manner. For example, if subsets ⁇ ACK/NACK, RI, SR ⁇ are transmitted in a CQI transmission scheme (i.e.
  • control information is mapped to messages m1, m2, ..., m7, m1', m2', ..., m7'), the messages of the control information are arranged in bits and then encoded.
  • channel encoding may be performed after corresponding bits are repeated and included according to the importance of each piece of control information.

  • a wireless mobile communication terminal multiplexes first control information and second control information allocated to different uplink carriers (S501) and transmits the multiplexed first and second control information on a predetermined uplink channel (S502).
  • the first and second control information may be an ACK/NACK, an RI, an SR, CQI, etc.
  • the first control information is control information allocated to a first uplink control channel of a first uplink carrier and the second control information is control information allocated to a second uplink control channel of a second uplink carrier.
  • the first and/or second uplink control channel may not be transmitted.
  • the predetermined single uplink channel may be the first or second uplink control channel, or a third uplink control channel allocated to a third uplink carrier.
  • the multiplexing step (S501) may involve modulating a bit stream generated by sequentially arranging one or more bits of the first control information and one or more bits of the second control information according to a modulation order corresponding to the length of the bit stream.

If the bit stream is 3 bits long, the modulation order corresponding to the bit stream length is 8PSK. If the bit stream is 4 bits long, the modulation order corresponding to the bit stream length is 16QAM. If the first control information requires a lower propagation error rate than the second control information, the first control information may be mapped to bits robust against propagation errors in the bit stream.
